Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After leaving the Prince Qin's Mansion, Gu Chan first let Zuo Xin take a carriage home, while she herself slowly went to the palace.

When she arrived at the imperial study in the palace and met Xuanyuan Long, she discovered that the national master, Master Tiancan, was also there.

Gu Chan said directly, "Since the Grand Master is here, that couldn't be better."

"Prince Chan, why do you come to see me in the middle of the night? What's the matter?" Master Tiancan asked puzzledly.

Xuanyuan Long also raised his eyes and stared at Gu Chan, quite confused.

Given Gu Chan's personality, she seldom came to him on her own initiative, and at this moment he was still very wary of her.

Gu Chan said cunningly, "Prince, I came here tonight to report to you about the situation in the Jiangnan area. One of my former subordinates came to bring me tea during the day and said that a Five Elements Sect had recently emerged in the Jiangnan area. In just over a month, it has developed hundreds of thousands of followers, causing the Jiangnan lord a lot of headaches."

"Prince Chan, how come the Lord of Jiangnan did not submit any memorial to report such an important event?" Master Tiancan said with a frown.

"Didn't it just so happen that he sent my men to deliver tea to me, so he told me to report to the prince?" Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

Master Tiancan was speechless after being choked by her, so he looked at Xuanyuan Long and said, "My Lord, the resurgence of a vicious sect like the Five Elements Sect is not a good sign!"

"Damn it, why did this sect suddenly show up at this time?" Xuanyuan Long said angrily.

The Kowloon Star-Chasing Day is just a few days away. Once the coronation ceremony is held, he will be able to smoothly sit on the throne of Tiancang Kingdom and become the new emperor.

But right now there is such chaos in Jiangnan area. If he fails to handle it properly, it will cause problems in Jiangnan, the richest area of ​​Tiancang Kingdom. Even if he sits on the throne in the future, he will not be able to sit safely!

So at this moment, he was very angry about this matter.

Gu Chan pretended to be indifferent and said, "My Lord, I have already reported this matter to you. It is up to you to decide how to deal with it. After all, I am no longer the Lord of Jiangnan, so it is not appropriate for me to ask about the affairs of Jiangnan anymore."

"Prince Chan, you are the former lord of Jiangnan. It would not be a good idea to just ignore this matter at this time!" said Master Tiancan coldly.

Gu Chan's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and she said with an idea, "My Lord Crown Prince, what the Imperial Master said is true. I really feel ashamed of your esteem now, so I volunteered to bring my family back to Jiangnan to suppress the Five Elements Sect, restore peace to Jiangnan, and lay a solid foundation for your accession to the throne in the future."

"You..." Master Tiancan was dumbfounded, staring at Gu Chan without being able to say a word.

Gu Chan was so happy that she couldn't stop laughing.

She is now eager to return to Jiangnan with her family to live a good life. She doesn't want to stay in this crappy Kyoto anymore.

Since Master Tiancan wanted to use his power to enslave her, she could take this opportunity to go back to Jiangnan to enjoy herself.

Xuanyuan Long rolled his eyes at Master Tiancan and said unhappily, "Master, Gu Chan is right. She is not the Lord of Jiangnan now. The affairs of Jiangnan have nothing to do with her, so he doesn't need to worry about this matter."

"No, Prince. I really want to go back to Jiangnan and help you suppress the Five Elements Sect! Just give me a chance to be loyal to you!" Gu Chan kept saying.

"Okay, stop being so arrogant here. I will never let you go back to Jiangnan." Xuanyuan Long shouted angrily.

Gu Chan said with a fake smile, "Look! I want to be loyal to you and take the initiative to help you solve your problems, but you are still not happy. I am really speechless."

"Just take care of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel. I will let the imperial master handle the matter of the Five Elements Sect in Jiangnan. You don't need to say more. Just leave!" Xuanyuan Long said, waving his hand while suppressing his anger.

Gu Chan chuckled, clasped his fists, and took his leave.

As soon as she walked out of the Imperial Study, Xuanyuan Long glared at Master Tiancan and scolded him, "This little bastard is very cunning. He deliberately came here to report this matter so late. Isn't he trying to use this incident to escape from Kyoto? And you are so stupid as to run into his gun?"

"Your Highness is teaching me a lesson. I was indeed inconsiderate just now. I will be more careful in the future." Master Tiancan said respectfully, not daring to talk back.

He also understood that he had spoken too quickly just now, allowing Gu Chan to seize the opportunity to turn the tables on him. It was not until then that he completely understood that Gu Chan's mind was very quick. If he were to confront Gu Chan again in the future, he would have to be extremely careful in what he said and did, otherwise he would be afraid that Gu Chan would seize the opportunity and embarrass him.

Xuanyuan Long let out a long breath, suppressed his anger and said, "You must leave for Jiangnan immediately and get rid of this cancer of the Five Elements Sect. Otherwise, even if I succeed in taking the throne, I will not be at ease."

"My lord, you'd better think carefully. If I leave, you will lose a powerful helper. If something goes wrong, you will be in trouble." Master Tiancan reminded.

Although he couldn't understand why the Five Elements Sect suddenly emerged in the Jiangnan area and developed so rapidly, he always had a feeling that this was definitely a trap, the purpose of which was to lure over the trustworthy strong men around the prince.

Although he was not afraid, he was not stupid enough to run to Jiangnan without knowing anything.

Xuanyuan Long said in a deep voice, "The Five Elements Sect has always been the mortal enemy of your Yin Yang Sect. If you want to deal with this sect, you are the most suitable one to take action. The most important thing is that I don't trust anyone other than you to solve this matter right now."

"Since the prince has said so, I am grateful for your trust in me. I will set off overnight and rush to Jiangnan as soon as possible to deal with this sect and come back later." Master Tiancan could no longer refuse and could only agree with helplessness.

"Well, there are still seven days until the Nine Dragons Star-Chasing Day. Before the coronation ceremony, you must destroy this sect. It will be regarded as a great gift for me to ascend the throne. I will then credit you for the merit." Xuanyuan Long said shrewdly.

Master Tiancan frowned and said, "My Lord, isn't seven days too short a time limit?"

"With your ability, I think seven days is too much time. How about giving you five days?" Xuanyuan Long said coldly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for thinking so highly of me. It's decided then. It will take just seven days." Master Tiancan did not dare to say anything more and agreed hurriedly.

Then he quickly clasped his fists, bowed, and left.

He was afraid that if he said more, Xuanyuan Long would shorten the time limit even more. Even if he was very capable, he would be in a mess when he went to Jiangnan!

Xuanyuan Long didn't care about all that. After explaining the matter, he put his mind at ease for the time being and got up to go to Yong'an Palace to favor Yan Li.
